Canada fell to Norway in the qualification round of the 2022 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship
Brett Gallant and Jocelyn Peterson were defeated by Norway's Maia and Magnus Ramsfjell. The Norwegians secured a takeout in the 10th end to grab two points, securing a 6-5 win.
"We’re happy with our performance through the week, but not our best game here today," Peterman said. "It’s disappointing. We were hoping for a better result."
The annual tournament involves 20 countries that are represented by one male and one female on a team together.
This is the 14th edition of the championship. It debuted in 2008 and has been played every year except 2020, when the event was canceled because of COVID-19.
